A method for performing a plurality of tests on a device under test comprises performing a plurality of tests on a device under test. Each test of the plurality of tests comprises a foreground process and a background process. The foreground process comprises a setup process during which a desired test mode is set. The background process comprises an upload process during which data captured from the device under test is provided. The foreground process is executed with a higher priority than the background process, thereby minimizing a delay between a start of consecutive tests of the device under test.
